We Are College Girls.

We visited Cambridge and bought a sweatshirt, so now we're true college girls. And on the way home we listened to country music, because I was missing America just a little bit…

I'm twenty, but I'm still a teenager.

I've never really been a Taylor Lautner fan, but tonight… He was looking kind of, really cute. And tonight I got soaked for him in the London rain.

London Town.

Everyday in London thus far has been full of adventures, so my weak attempt to summarize this past week will be in list format:

1. Our first play in London was Legally Blonde the Musical at the Savoy Theater. We all logically dressed in black white and pink. We looked like a sorority.

2. I was called to teach young women’s.

3. We all went to the Royal Albert Hall for the Philadelphia philharmonic symphony. (It was so good they gave two encores).

4. Richard III. Long. Thriving on Richard…

5. Kitchen duty. I will never complain about dishes at home after dinner prep/ clean up for 60 people.

6. Vogue Fashion’s Night Out. London 2011. September 8. There was a free Vogue photo booth, Leonardo did my hair, and I finally bought my rain boots for 25% off.

7. I had my first pub experience. Fran met a drummer and next thing we knew we were at their show… The Elgin was the cutest pub to hear the Ryan O’Reilly Band.

8. I have fallen semi-in-love-with McDonalds, and I’m super embarrassed about it, because I usually hate fast food, but I had to get my share of protein, because I promised my mom I’d be a semi-vegetarian while here in London. Mad cow disease? = I ordered a chicken sandwich.

9. I went running in Hyde Park around Serpentine Lake.

10. I attempted to watch Notting Hill in our classroom on Friday night, but I of course fell asleep. (Maggie summarized what I missed).

11. I ate at Café Diana and accepted free baklava from the restaurant owner after we clarified that I wasn’t actually Arab or Greek.

12. Visited Primark way too many times.

13. Slept in a total of once = 9:30 AM.

14. Done laundry twice (washed my sheets twice).

15. Lied in Stephanie’s twin-sized bed with three other girls to watch the BYU game at midnight. Devoted fans.

16. Camden Market.

17. Portobello Road/Market.

18. Failed to communicate to our cook in Portuguese and Spanish...

19. End of Summer Festival.

Off to Scotland today!

I'm a hanger snob.

Our first concert in London at St. Martin in the Fields… Mozart and Handel.

I'm on the top bunk, notice the adorable quilt my mom made me for my 20th birthday (first birthday away from home… I'm like two... It's fine).

my closet.

I went to four different stores before finally finding hangers, the right kind of hangers that is. Marks and Spencer was my last try, and to my dismay… they didn’t sell hangers either, but the very nice lady offered to give me hangers for free and refused my offer to pay for them. It made me think much better thoughts about the Brits.
